“Gabby is so sweet and took such good care of Penny! Loved the photos/videos of her walks. We picked up a very happy dog and would definitely use Gabby again.”


3. Jacob E.

“Jacob and Simone were simply the best. They were very communicative and kind. Their house is clean and cozy. They sent lots of pics while we were away. I will definitely book again.”


4. Owen B.

“Owen took great care of our boy while we were out of town- he sent lots of photos and updates, and we were very confident that our dog was in good hands. Owen was also flexible with our pick-up/drop-off times which we really appreciated, and he made sure to check with us before taking our boy to an off-leash park. On top of all that, he is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and has a nice yard too- he's a great find!”


5. Hannah W.

“Hannah is fantastic!!! Our dog, Winnie, has stayed with Hannah and her precious dog, Bubbles, several times for long overnight stays as well as drop in visits. Winnie is always super happy to see them both! Hannah is a fantastic caregiver and takes amazing care of Winnie! We are so grateful for her!!!”


6. Brittany & Christian H.

“I had a last minute trip and reached out to Brittney & Christian. They got back to me right away. And they said they would be happy to take Summer :) my pup. They were so lovely and welcomed Summer into their home with their sweet dog Herbie. It was nice to have another little pup there to also keep my dog company. I’m so incredibly happy to have found them. They sent pictures and kept me updated on how she was doing. Best of all when I picked her up she was happy and content. I will always use Brittney, Christian, and Herbie ;)”


7. Tory A.
“Tory was wonderful with Nala! Nala loved her beginning with our meet and greet. Tory sent daily photos of Nala where I could see the smiles on her face and how comfortable she was in Tory’s company. Tory also took Nala on daily walks in different environments like the beach! I highly recommend Tory and look forward to Nala’s next stay with her.”


8. Ana L.
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life, back home I have four dogs, one beagle, one husky, one labrador and one border collie so I know how to take care of different breeds. I've also had my neighbors, friends and cousins rely on me to care for their dogs, feed them, take them on walks and play with them. I really love dogs and I miss my dogs every single day! I am a full time student but I have a flexible schedule. I am available Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays on the mornings from 6-10 and after 3pm, and open availability whole weekend! I am always on the look out for them and take them on walks/play with them. I can crate them if needed and also feed/take medicine if needed.


9. Jessica A.


“This was our second time using Jessica to watch our sweet pup and she did a fabulous job! She is so thoughtful and kind. She sent daily updates and pictures and we were able to rest easy knowing our puppy was in great hands. Thank you so much Jessica! We appreciate you! :)”




10. Amber D.

“amber always takes great care of our pup. she’s super kind, communicative, and sends us consistent pics and updates of our doggy having fun with her doggy while she’s in her care. 5 stars all around!!”


11. Miguel M.

“Miguel was available for a last minute booking when I went out of town for the weekend. He is very responsible and took great care of my dog! Would definitely re-book in the future”


12. Naoko G.
“My pup was very comfortable and happy at Naoko’s! She was a loving caretaker for my pup and took excellent care of him, he had a wonderful time! It is also nice they have a fenced yard. I will definitely rebook with Naoko again!”


13. James T.


“James is clearly a dog lover and took care of our energetic lab as if she were his own! We truly felt our girl was safe, diligently exercised, and loved. James was/is the best!”




14. Svet L.

“Svetlana was the most incredible dog sitter for my sweet pup:) she was prompt at responding the entire stay & was able to agree to watch Toby with short notice. She kept me updating with sweet photos, and was even able to accommodate an additional day at the last minute. I returned from a weekend away to a very happy, (& clean!) pup. I could tell her & her boyfriend were very caring and attentive with him. I will definitely be booking with them the next time I need a sitter! Highly recommend.”


15. Hilary R.

“Hilary is a complete godsend!!!! I have never seen my dog be more taken care of, loved, nurtured and just overall happy, than with Hilary. I cannot begin to express how grateful we are for finding Hilary and for knowing Luna always has a safe, loving place to go to whenever I have to travel for work or just life in general (which I often these days).”


16. mary s.

“Thanks to Mary, my 18 year old precious kitty felt supported and loved while I was out of town. It was the first time I had ever taken her to someone's house while I was gone and I was very nervous. But my kitty came home in much better spirits than when I have left her at home alone with just twice a day feeding visits.”


17. Madi B.

“Great experience. Madi was an excellent communicator and flexible with drop off and pick up time. My dog stayed with her for 2 nights, and she sent multiple photos and videos without me even requesting it. When I went to pick him up, her and her roommates seemed sad to see him go. You could tell she gave my dog a lot of attention. 5/5, would hire again without hesitation. Thanks!”


18. Colette S.
About: I have owned cats most of my life and volunteered at an animal shelter throughout high school! Currently I own two duck girlies who are my world. I am widely experienced with dog and cat sitting, frequently sitting for friends, family, and co-workers. I work from home, so I am widely available to care for your pets! I am able to work on weekdays and weekends for as short or as long as you need! I have a fenced yard for your pets to play in safely! I work from home so pets will have lots of fun and supervision.


19. Rocco C.

“Reliable, helpful and good communication. We’d love to use Rocco again”


20. Vivian G.

“Vivian helped with a last minute request to watch our pup. She was really flexible with our changing needs and we were happy our dog stayed with her for a few hours while we visited the zoo. Very friendly and responsive.”
